If we act now and move with common purpose, then we can do more than just
guard against the very worst. We can protect our environment and build a
stronger and fairer economy for the next generation.
"That’s what Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told a special climate summit at
the United Nations in New York on Wednesday, as he shared Australia’s new 2035
climate target with other world leaders.
And the prime minister is right: climate change isn’t just a threat. It’s also
an opportunity to do things differently – and more fairly.
As our research shows, First Nations people and Indigenous-managed land will
play a crucial part if we want to hit our 2035 targets. But energy justice and
sovereignty need to be central in our climate policy.
Two key challenges stand out: reducing energy stress, which we found is a
significantly bigger problem for Indigenous households today, and ensuring
self-determination in renewable energy or critical mineral developments on
Indigenous land."
